    Ahh yes, the man, the myth, the legend that is Ed “The Old Master “ Pink. His is a an interesting life, he was a racer, engine builder, mechanic and a fountain of knowledge when it came to racing engines. We shall never see his like again. God bless him and keep him.

    Hello,

    We should all be so lucky as to live to 93. He was born when the 1932 Ford was on the showroom. That goes back a long ways…

    Ed Pink was well known in the drag racing world. His early endeavors involved a Tahitian Red modified 36 Ford coupe. The painted shape on the rear quarter panel was/is a tribute to his dad’s Paint shop "Pink's Paint" from the early days.

    Two versions of old artwork showing street use and competition use.

    The total rebuild and present day version:

    Jnaki

    The sightings of Ed Pink Engines and history in drag racing are one of those engines we see and wish we had them sitting in our own hot rods. This 36 Ford was a portion of his hot rod life that most have not associated with the name and involvement. YRMV

    From my viewpoint, he had an interesting and fulfilling life. To live that long and be active until not too long ago is quite an accomplishment. One item that differed him from many others is he was a good business man. R.I.P. Mr. Pink.
